XF40= $125
MS60= $25... Should that be 250 you think ? Ha !

Rarer as XF, maybe?
LOl then you could just take an MS coin and rub it until it reached XF
I dunno.. It seems a bit fishy to me !
good find :D , im sure they forgot a zero.

Yep.
Have you emailed them to let them know?
Not yet, not exactly sure how to either lol
Sometimes finer coins are rarer, so it justifies the price. It is easy to find UNC issues of some coins, but man, you need to work hard to catch a VF. It makes sense!  (8
 :D I am kidding, of course:

However, never trust any valuation website or source, be it Krause or NGC.
Trust the local market!
- I just had a conversation on a coin, I valued USD 13.00, he said Krause says USD 2.00, so I said get it for 2.00 then... all auction, local and eBay shows that the coin is in the range of 13-17, and I have [accidentally] auctioned 3 of them for usd13.00 each, hell, I am not going to get a lower than 13 swap value for it.

NGC, Krause are not just totally lost and delayed in time, but also US-biassed as well, so if you are elsewhere: IGNORE!

See what your local value is, you'll see surprises!  ;)
Oh, I always do mate, I use it to X reference :)

I would just send them a polite email to their general email address. Businesses should always appreciate help like that as these little errors make them look a bit silly.
  I have sent an email to NGC - I already write to them every so often when I see a mistake (mostly spelling), and my contact there is Lisa Berzins in Customer Service, so hope it is corrected soon.  :)

Yes and no- In Latvia we would use letter "a" for female at the end, but people who emigrated in some other countries are using the same surname for whole family, because otherwise it can be very confusing for documentation in local council, schools, etc.  my own opinion- I prefer one surname without changing last letter, because forename already showing the gender- we do not have the same forenames names  for male and female- it is like John always is male and Matilda always female, we do not have name like Keith that can be both of genders, etc. very complicated to explain that actually. Sorry for off-topic.
